Most importantly, a barista is judged by his/her coffee, so he or she must be learned in the art of making a good cup.At McDonald’s, each barista goes through 100 hours of training to learn the history and origins of coffee, proper coffee handling practices, free pouring, extraction techniques, etc.Take the mastery of milk for example. Each barista is able to achieve smooth, velvety milk texture at the correct temperature and to create beautiful latte art to please not only your sense of smell and taste, but your vision too.
